My 7yr old daughter I breastfed for 3 months, only b/c I went back to
work. My 2 yr old daughter I was able to breastfeed for a year. My
hair loss was worse the second time, but towards the end of the first
year, seem to level off. I wasn't diagnosed pcos until the 2 yr old was
18 months, which was when I went on met. How long you breastfeed is a
is a decision you will have to make on your own. I knew my hair was
falling out, but I also knew how important breastfeeding the baby for as
long as I could was to me.
